Right an awesome pirate metal band are on near me tomorrow in the jolly town of middlesbrough and i need to get pirated up for it on the cheap and quick !

They are called Alestorm btw, would think some people have heard of them / seen them.

Anyways, so anyone have any suggestions of cheapy pirate outfit. I am going to pop into a toy store etc and get a sword and thinking of finding a cheap red / black stripy top from say primark orrrr TKmax.

Any other ideas?

Much appriciated.
Firthy.

Eyepatch - can buy these in a chemist.

Bandana - essential.

Parrot - Toy parrot and superglue it to your top.

You may have to remove a leg and get it replaced with a peg
